According to Winnipeg police, officers were called to a report of a crash involving a vehicle and a pedestrian on Osborne Street and River Avenue on January 15 at 6:10 p.m.
When they arrived, a 75-year-old man was found lying on the sidewalk with an upper-body injury, and was taken to hospital in stable condition.
